Yes. There is a good chance of this although I’m not sure what constitutes a lot. I would argue that the MLB permanently shortening the draft (especially the 2020 draft at only 5 rounds) and reducing MiLB levels poured gasoline on the fire. I think that things will normalize a bit in a few years but that the caliber of players at all levels of college and at lower levels of the minors will be permanently higher than it was prior to 2020.
